This board has no patience with fundamental analysis, so how about cycles?

I was posting when I lost it. Sorry. I was recommending JH Ellis's book Ahead of the Curve. He suggests that when the GDP gets below 1% it is likely hear recovery in growth. So maybe the markets are looking for a recovery soon, like this fall. Consumers hold the clue - 70% of the market. The melt up I am suggesting will come is likely due to a parabolic spike-up based on Monentum. I don't like melt-ups, but I will set stops and take it. The book is on the web at www.aheadofthecurve-thebook.com.

Oh, yes I am often wrong, don't overlook that please. Best Islander, Unhappy :redbull:

Islander, I think we already had the melt up, actually its in progress, should end by June 26, then a late july bottom and buy time again. Latest off the press.

Take October 2014 and start backing up by 40 years +- 2 years. After the charts don't work pull up history books and read about the times.

I quit at 1734.

Check it out.

1734
1774
1814
1854
1894
1934
1974
2014?

Interesting economic conditions around those years.

And for the ewavers count the below chart from 1932. I am curious what they come up with.

Your comment struck a chord with me - We know that the birth cycle is 40 years long, with a usual ups and downs affecting the economic conditions as each generation enters/leaves its primary spending years. Could this have to do with that?
